Mushaal Condemns Strikes on Iran, Urges Global Push for Peace. Mushaal Hussein Mullick, Chairperson of the Peace and Culture Organisation, former Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Human Rights & Women Empowerment, and wife of jailed Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Mohammad Yasin Malik, has strongly condemned the reported military strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities. Expressing deep concern over the development, Mullick warned that such acts risk destabilizing an already volatile regional security environment.
In a strongly worded statement, Mullick called the attacks a violation of international law and an affront to national sovereignty. She emphasized that military aggression only serves to escalate tensions and prolong suffering, rather than offering any meaningful resolution. “I am deeply disturbed by these developments, which risk pushing our region toward further violence and suffering,” she said. “History has shown us time and again – from the tragic Iraq War to countless other conflicts – that wars based on false pretenses bring nothing but destruction. The path to lasting security lies in dialogue, not destruction.”
Mullick raised concerns about the broader implications of the strikes, pointing to the potential for a dangerous regional escalation. She also criticized the role of external pressure groups that, she said, often push nations toward conflict rather than peace. Highlighting the urgency of the situation, she called on the international community—particularly the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation—to take immediate steps to prevent further escalation and to promote a peaceful diplomatic resolution to the crisis. She also stressed the need for accountability for violations of international legal norms.
“This is a pivotal moment where world leaders must choose between repeating past mistakes or charting a new course toward peace,” she urged. The Peace and Culture Organisation reaffirmed its commitment to peacebuilding and announced its intention to mobilize civil society networks to advocate against militarization and in favor of constructive conflict resolution.
